Directed by Jerzy Skolimowski, written by Jerzy Skolimowski and Andrzej Kostenko, produced by Bronka Ricquier.
Average viewer score of 6.6/10 from 47 ratings.
A film that never stops to breathe, when perhaps it should. Lots of striking imagery. I especially loved all the various shots of cars, especially the half car. Léaud’s character is mental and he plays it very well. Also an amazing title sequence 3.5/5
